Eugene Fama, Robert R. McCormick Distinguished Service Professor of Finance at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, is generally regarded the father of modern finance.  Along with Ken French of Dartmouth, his research has expanded upon the capital asset pricing model to identify the value and small-capitalization contributions to risk.
